Disposal

This disposal method is published for your convenience. You MUST have checked with your federal, state, and local regulations before using this method and these methods are only applicable for small laboratory sized quantities.

Use a lab apron, chemical resistant gloves and goggles before following the below method to dispose of hazardous waste.

1. Add several pieces of sodium or lithium (no more than 25 g) to a 500-mL beaker. The metal should be covered in mineral oil to prevent a reaction with the air. The beaker should be placed in a fume hood. 2. Slowly add ethyl alcohol to the metal. Anhydrous ethyl alcohol is recommended as opposed to 95% ethyl alcohol. Add at a rate that allows for a slow evolution of hydrogen gas. Stir the reaction mixture until all of the metal has dissolved. 3. Once all the metal has reacted, water can be added in a volume equal to the amount of ethyl alcohol present. 4. Neutralize the solution with dilute hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 7. 5. Pour the final solution down the drain with at least a 20-fold excess of water.

Ward's Science Review Guidelines

Ward's Science allows users to contribute both positive, negative ratings and review content. We’ve put together some general guidelines for having them published successfully. Once you submit a review to us, it is read only. We do not modify submitted review content under any circumstance, at any time during our professional moderation. The intention of reviews, is to guide customers into quality purchase decisions based on unbiased relevant feedback

Mention of Price: Do not share a definitive price of the reviewed product.

Promotional Content / Links / Cross-promotion Rules: Review content is only useful to users who don't have to sift through cross promotional clutter or links inside. Adding reference links to products and relevant places is encouraged

Privacy: Do not publicize private information of individuals and/or their business interests, people’s full names, email address, URL's, street addresses, other customers names and / or suppliers without written permission, unless they refer to service providers who are commonly identified by or commonly share their own full names.

Conflicts of Interest: User contributions should be unbiased and objective. For example, we will decline reviews made by the owners of their own product supplier, friends’ or relatives’ business, peers or competitors in the same industry.

Contradiction / Error: Star rating does not correspond with the written review and is obviously a user error.

Relevance: Review is written for a different product than listed; reviewer states that they received a different product than ordered; review is 100% a review of the service or shipping, and makes NO mentions or is irrelevant of the product itself. Review solely contains random characters or meaningless word strings, or is otherwise irrelevant to the product, or so poorly written as to be unintelligible.

Validation / Guess: Reviewer has yet to make a purchase or the reviewer has no experience with the specific product or retailer, or is submitting their review prior to receiving the product.
